A person or an organization making profit using unhonorable practices from a culture they do not care for.

Example in TV Shows/Movies: Creating and popularizing a gay character in the pursuit of the LGBT community's cash. Example in Video Games: Selling DLC for the same price of a full game, selling micro-transactions items that should be in a game for free to start with and selling Pay To Win items that will give players a huge advantage over other gamers in a competitive environment.

vulture culture có nghĩa là

A person who loves art, music, movies, and dance, and all forms of culture so much that they consume whatever they find, whether or not it's any good. Like birds that scavenge by the roadside, culture-vultures feast on art wherever they find it. They will listen to Mozart in the concert hall or the punk in a club; their clothes are as likely to come from the thrift store as they are a boutique shop; they have Architecture Digest on the coffee table while they watch MTV Cribs. They consult the Oxford English Dictionary but double-check the Urban Dictionary. Culture vultures are especially good at talking about low art and culture with the same insight and intelligence as high art.

Example

While I have always preferred the later symphonies of Beethoven to that infernal racket they play across the hall, when Liz came over, she explained that Beethoven was "giving the finger to the man" just like punk. It wasn't my first clue that she was a culture-vulture. On our second date, she wanted to show me some graffiti across the street from the museum where we saw the Surrealist drawings. We stopped to get a hot dog but she insisted on putting her own Dijon mustard on it, which she pulled out of her knockoff Gucci bag as though it were no big deal. Culture vulture, indeed!

vulture culture có nghĩa là

A Culture Vulture is a practitioner of cultural appropriation. A Culture Vulture is an inauthentic individual who attempts to identify with aspects of another culture and claim it as their own. They do this by mimicking aspects of culture that belong to another group of people and not giving credit where credit is due, which creates the illusion that the aspect of culture they are mimicking is authentic to them. They also do this by claiming that certain aspects of another group of people's culture originated with them, with no historical proof to back their claims.

Example

"If you were so proud of being white you'd take more pride in white culture, vs. being a culture Vulture and attempting to assume the cultural identity of others through mimicking them and signing your signature on other people's work."

A scavenger, circling the media, looking for scraps of originality to add to their conceit. They sport eclectic styles and tastes, always recognisable as having been borrowed without adaption or refinement from elsewhere.

vulture culture có nghĩa là

A workplace or organization that seems to feed on itself, picking over the bones of failure and blaming everyone else, rather than itself. You sometimes find yourself wondering what it would be like to work freely without the fear of a hungry hoover hovering above waiting for you to mess up. Or, your company is so paralysed by indecision because no-one wants to stand up and raise their head above the parapet. If any of these sound familiar, you might be in the grip of a Vulture Culture. Vulture Cultures are particularly damaging because the enemy is within, and not always easy to pinpoint. Not to be confused with Culture Vulture.

Example

I am so tired of working in this Vulture Culture where it seems the heads of the company were promoted into their positions because they were too stupid to handle the jobs they were hired to do. It's such a terrible work culture, these vultures pick on staff over stupid things such as when my boss lost it on me when she opened an attachment and it was so big that it fit her entire screen. I've also been asking the CFO for weeks now to make a spending decision on something that needed to get done within a specific time frame in order to reach our vendor's deadline, and with as many times and methods in which I followed up, she did not provide a decision until today and we missed the vendor's deadline by weeks. It's a Vulture Culture.
